In cookbooks, salt solutions of various concentrations are often mentioned, which are necessary for both cooking and cooking. The hostess, not very well remembering the school lessons of mathematics and chemistry, runs the risk of getting a solution that is more saturated than required, or less saturated. There is no big danger in this, but the dish may not turn out quite as we would like.
It is necessary
- - salt;
- - water;
- - glass jar;
- - volumetric dishes;
- - pharmacy scales;
- - calculator.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy volumetric dishes. You can find it in the most ordinary dishware store. Since you are unlikely to work with harsh chemicals in the kitchen, utensils can be both plastic and ordinary glass. It's just a pitcher or graduated beaker. It is useful not only for preparing brine. Finding pharmacy scales on sale is also not a problem. For culinary purposes, electronic ones are more suitable.
Step 2
See what concentration solution you need. You have to solve a school problem with percentages, where the entire mass of the substance that you need to get is 100%. If the salt is 10%, then water, respectively, 90%. A twenty percent solution consists of 20% salt and 80% water; for a fifty percent solution, the components are taken in equal amounts. Do not take iodized salt unless specifically indicated in the recipe.
Step 3
Decide how much solution you want to get. Calculate the mass of each component. To calculate how much salt you need, multiply the total amount of the solution by the percentage of salt and divide everything by 100. Measure out the salt. Grinding does not matter in this case, but small crystals dissolve faster than large ones.
Step 4
The amount of water is calculated using the same formula, but instead of the percentage of salt, the total amount of the solution is multiplied by the percentage of water. There is nothing wrong with the fact that one ingredient is free-flowing and the other liquid, since 1 liter of water weighs 1 kg.
Step 5
Pour the amount of water that you received as a result of the calculations into a transparent jar. The solution can be made either from raw water or from boiled water. It is better if it is warm, this will speed up the process somewhat.
Step 6
Add the calculated amount of salt. Stir the solution until the salt is completely dissolved. The speed of the process will not be affected in any way by what exactly you interfere with, so the most ordinary spoon will do.
